Yes, I think that makes sense. I might just return `reg_offset`
since it is bound to be -EINVAL when bcmasp_netfilt_get_reg_offset
fails.

But that now makes me wonder whether the previous check in that
function which currently returns 0, shouldn't be returning `-EINVAL`
instead.

```
static u32 bcmasp_netfilt_rd(struct bcmasp_priv *priv,
...
{
if (!IS_ALIGNED(offset, 4) || offset > MAX_WAKE_FILTER_SIZE)
return 0; <----- Should this one be -EINVAL?
}
```

Thank you for the feedback.
